Shell Extensions are in-process COM objects which extends the abilities of Windows operating system. Most shell extensions are automatically installed by the operating system, but there are also many other applications that install additional shell extension components. For example: If you install WinZip on your computer, you'll see a special WinZip menu when you right-click on a Zip file. This menu is created by adding a shell extension to the system.
The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable each shell extension.

ShellMenuView is a small utility that display the list of static menu items that appeared in the context menu when you right-click a file/folder on Windows Explorer, and allows you to easily disable unwanted menu items.

In fact once or twice it DID show, but normally it doesn't which is even more cofusing.

I'm running Windows 7 x64, and am trying to make it so that all my images open in the basic Windows Photo Viewer. For some reason, all files with the .gif extension contain an 'Open With' item called 'Photo Gallery Viewer'. This item has no icon and doesn't work. How can I remove...

Persistant context menu itemHello,
I found another bug in Windows Seven. I feel like I have more bugs with 7057 and 7068 than I had with 7000 and earlier.
I will probably solve this problem by rebooting, but I never reboot so this is annoying.
If I right click and choose an item in a context menu, the item stays,...
